Conservatives Would Be Better Off If Harry Reid Still Ran The Senate

Posted on by John Hawkins

The whole case for reelecting mediocre Republicans has been, “Sure, they stink, but do you want a Democrat in office? They’re the lesser of two evils.” That’s an argument I’ve used many times myself. However, what happens when it’s no longer true? What happens if conservatives realize that they would be better off RIGHT NOW […]

 

Why Americans Oppose Economic Redistribution Despite Income Inequality

Posted on by Michael Barone

Skeptics about democracy in the 18th and 19th centuries argued that the enfranchised masses would use their votes to seize the property of the relatively few rich. What could be more natural? But it hasn’t happened, in this country or abroad, to anything like the extent that those would-be Cassandras feared. Nonetheless, we continue to […]

 

Learning from Obamacare’s Spectacular Failures

Posted on by Phil Kerpen

Federal taxpayers spent a shocking total of $5.4 billion – with a B – on grants to establish what ended up being just 13 state Obamacare exchanges. In some states the failures have been spectacular enough to embarrass officials and imperil political careers, and in far too many places, Republicans who should have known better […]

 

Huckabee Is the Wrong Candidate for the Wrong Time

Posted on by David Harsanyi

Sometimes, probably because he’s such an affable media presence, I forget why I dislike the political version of Mike Huckabee so much. Maybe it’s the aw-shucks populism, which isn’t substantively very different from the class conflict rhetoric we hear from so many on the left these days. Or maybe it’s that Everyman Huckabee has been […]

Posted on by Sierra Marlee

It takes a very sick person to pull up to a parking lot packed with children and firefighters, pull out a gun, and discharge it in any direction, but that’s exactly what Chad Barker did.

VIDEO: Store Clerk Bounces Two Thugs Right Out the Door for Trying to Rob Him

Posted on by Sierra Marlee

All too often we are faced with gas station surveillance footage asking “have you seen these people” who have successfully robbed the establishment.

Canada has a reputation for being largely mild-mannered.

IRONY ALERT: The Press Was Barred from a ‘Press Freedom’ Event at the UN

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You may recall last week that we reported that Obama sent three–count ’em, THREE–White House officials to Baltimore resident Freddie Gray’s funeral.

VIDEO: Barack Obama is Making Good on His Promise to Raise Your Utility Bill

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

Obama swore he would transform the country, and apparently, one of his methods to do so is to punish anyone who doesn’t fall right in line with King Obama’s orders.

Posted on by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

This definitely stirs pity in my heart. Nichola looks the picture of health… young, pretty, slender… but she’s very ill and the odds are against her making it to her 40th birthday.

Despite what liberals would like us to believe, this country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, by Christian men who held fast to their faith and did not hide it — and yet now, a relatively short time later, we’ve turned our back on those values and the faith that made our country strong.
